AL4325.33 B Copyright, 1916, by Sara Norton This Book is sold for the benefit of HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY FROM THE FAMILY OF NOVEMBER 16, 1927 Printed at The Merrymount Press, Boston, U. S. A. To MOTHER GOOSE It was you who suggested these Rhymes, Mother Goose, And to you I must offer some kind of excuse For turning and twisting your words to my use. The faet is, our life is so full of the things Which out of the past, to the present one brings, - Between what we had and we have, how one swings! That your rhymes live in mind. If I use them to-day To point out a moral, and you smile at the way, Ask others to smile — and to ponder, I pray. |
